    That kinda what I'm doing, going to keep all one of a kind. If it isn't initially recognized and gets my attention, I'm going to study it to death. Already thinking about what kind of 80's and 90's machine I can build. It almost seems like that was what the attentions of original owner. The boxes were to well planned and packed. I think I'm going to find a manual for each component, have matched several already. In cables there's one box of all never opened cables, a lot of internal flat ribbon cables. I don't get going and putting it all in separate boxes and no original boxes. I guess he knew his business and for me its like a puzzle. My money says everything worked when he packed it, to much obvious thought went into this. I was amazed how tight everything was. Components were packed in big boxes, about the size of the largest counter top microwave. I helped my new dumpster sorter (HIRED WEEK BEFORE XMAS) left them out. I had to actually jump end, wanted either of hurting our backs. That first box was easy 200 lbs. im going to need some kind lifting device. New guy has to be at least 60 and I'm not but maybe six years behind him. I was looking for a man I could trust and help me organize a startup. Didn't hire for youthful human crane needing a job to buy presents. New man is organized and I like that! More important comes to work early, very rare these days. My girlfriend was giving me crap for wasting money on someone the week before Christmas. She don't know what I know and man was right fit at right time and he's pleased to be working again. He got a little wide eyed when he saw dumpsters. Going to crossed eyed when told, empty this one, fill that one and any metal, wire or it looks like put it there on big table. Last week he was all questions and this week was, I can't beleive someone throws this out over and over. Can't wait to show him all the tools, gets me wet anyway.
